Freehold flat sold at auction — sale without agent guarantees

A compact one-bedroom flat in a red sandstone tenement, offered freehold and sold at auction with an existing assured tenancy. The property is currently let at £400 pcm (£4,800 pa) and is presented as a turnkey buy-to-let with realistic rent-upside to around £550–£600 pcm. Its location in central Dumbarton provides easy access to local amenities, schools and rail links to Glasgow (approx. 30–37 minutes), supporting steady rental demand.
The flat occupies a period building with communal entrance and rear communal garden. Accommodation includes an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and a large double bedroom with useful built-in storage. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported strong, and council tax is described as very cheap—both practical positives for lettings.
Important considerations: the property is tenanted so it will not be sold with vacant possession. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect tenant profiles, demand volatility and long-term capital growth. Information on total floor area is not provided and room sizes are described as small for some rooms; purchasers should rely on their own survey for condition and any required maintenance in a period tenement.
This lot suits investors seeking an immediate income stream and simple entry into the Dumbarton rental market via auction. Buyers wanting vacant possession, certainty on exact size, or a low-risk neighbourhood profile should factor in potential voids, management needs and local area considerations before bidding.
